Abstract: A method for providing automated customer feedback monitoring in real-time to facilitate identification and resolution of errors is disclosed. The method includes ingesting, via an application programming interface, data from a source, the data including feedback information from a customer; persisting the data in a file format, the file format including a tabular file format; filtering the persisted data based on a rating and a keyword; identifying a category for the filtered data based on a characteristic of the filtered data; determining whether a log file corresponds to the filtered data based on the identified category, the log file including an error log file that corresponds to an issue, and when the log file corresponds to the filtered data; correlating the filtered data with the determined log file; and determining a priority level for the issue by using the correlated data and the log file.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for applying a code update to a target system from a personal communication device. A code update command is received from a messaging application, executing on the personal communication device of the user, indicating a code update to install on the target system a code update maintained in the target system. The code update command is processed to extract indication of the code update to install and a target system user identifier of the target system on which to install the code update. At least one job is generated to install the code update on the target system. The at least one job is transmitted to the target system to cause the target system to process the at least one job to install the code update.

Abstract: A method for executing a process may include: receiving a process comprising data to execute from a sub-system; identifying a process graph for the process to execute, the process graph comprising a plurality of nodes connected by edges, each of the plurality of nodes in the process graph represents a type of operation to perform, an identification of data input, and an address for a handler; retrieve the identified process graph from a process graph source; traverse the identified process graph to a first node; call a first handler identified by the first node with the data; receive a first result; select, based on the result, one of a plurality of edges from the first node to a second node; call a second handler identified by the second node with the first result and the data; receive a second result; and output the second result to the sub-system.

Abstract: The subject invention provides methods of treating neurological disease or disorder, such as brain injuries, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or other ischemic events that cause brain injury by inhibiting or down-regulating Let-7i activity or function. The disclosed methods may have the potential to extend the “window of opportunity” for treatment of such injuries and enhance the effectiveness of existing therapeutics.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes outputting an interface, receiving a first input and parsing contents of the first input. It is determined whether the first input includes the instances of information: a type of modification that is to be performed, a program that is to be incorporated in the performing of the modification, and a target system on which the modification is to be performed. In response to a determination that the first input does not include one or more of the instances of information, a request is output. In response to a determination that the first input includes the instances of information, a process is performed. The process includes correlating the instances of information to a script file and performing the modification in accordance with the instances of information of the first input. The process further includes collecting status information and outputting the status information.

Abstract: A storage controller receives a command to delete a dataset stored in a first set of storage volumes controlled by the storage controller. In response to receiving the command, a determination is made as to whether an indicator has been enabled to protect the dataset against an accidental deletion. In response to determining that the indicator has been enabled, the dataset is copied from the first set of storage volumes to a second set of storage volumes controlled by the storage controller. In response to completion of the copying of the dataset from the first set of storage volumes to the second set of storage volumes, the command to delete the dataset stored in the first set of storage volumes is executed.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for managing, manipulating and presenting data objects within a graphical user interface with variable dimensions, shapes, locations and interactions. The apparatus and methods allow for variable data objects to be both pinned and liquid depending on a larger management and manipulation apparatus. The apparatus consists of databases that store the data objects to be displayed within the user interface and the layout coordinates, variable potential object size, and whether the object can move or not based on the graphical user interface dimensions. The object manipulations include the representation of such objects on the graphical user interface in a defined sequence.

Abstract: The present invention provides for giving preference to a specific media gateway in the selection of the next circuit so that in a multi-media-gateway soft-switch where a call may take any of many possible paths, an outgoing circuit on the same media-gateway as the incoming circuit is preferably selected, so if one is available, the need for using more bearer ports on media gateways to bridge the two sides is eliminated. Instead of interconnection, the same facilities can be provisioned to the bearer interface between the soft-switch and the rest of the network. This invention maximizes the bearer capacity of a distributed media gateway for external network access.
